I use mic pre-amps on all mics, compress the hell out of it with a soft knee set tube set pre-amp compressor on each mic and all channels run through a dbx compressor.

Bass and vocals are run through an Aphex Aural Exciter. Bass with bass settings direct to mixer. I use MXL tube mics and an AudioTechnica for mic the Vox AC30 amp. Effects on board a Yamaha 16/6 board and Sony effects processor.

I mix to Cubase and again compress and dynamic effects with Cubase.

I record in my studio in my home in a 20 by 24 foot room with acoustic treatment. I master mix with cube speakers that are 30 years old.

The guitars I use are an Ovation acoustic that is mic with MXL tube 9000. The electrics are a Gibson SG and a Fender Strat through a Vox AC30. Yamaha Bass direct into board.
